Data-driven, knowledge-based real property asset management is the ultimate goal of most organizations in today’s highly competitive operating environment. Military organizations are no exception – and for the past decade, Cardno has been actively supporting many of them in their efforts to implement knowledge-based asset management programs and practices.

Cardno is uniquely qualified in implementing the BUILDER™ Sustainment Management System (SMS), a web-based SMS software application developed by ERDC’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL). The BUILDER™ system helps civil engineers, technicians and managers in sectors such as defense, decide when, where and how to best maintain building infrastructure and improve facility and asset management.

BUILDER™ delivers a common platform across the services to organize and store facility inventory and condition data. This facilitates condition assessment processes that provide total asset visibility to support knowledge-based real property asset management. BUILDER™ enabled processes produce results that are defendable, auditable, repeatable and transparent.
